Bug#391691: Nexuiz needs a better description

[Bruno Kleinert]

hi!

please have a look at chapter 6.2.1 "General guidelines for package
descriptions" of the debian developers reference.

it says "Package descriptions are not the place for advocating your
package, no matter how much you love it". i like nexuiz, too, but
there's no reason to advocate it against other games in debian.

also the reference mentions "Avoid referring to other applications or
frameworks that the user might not be familiar with" - you expect most
users being familiar with Quake 1. there are many people, who don't
know Quake 1 or only know the name "Quake 1" but don't get an
impression what that is. and some people who don't like Quake 1, might
like Nexuiz - if only they had installed it...
and from my experience, most people who are familiar with recent
computer games, compare nexuiz to unreal tournament 2004 and not to
Quake 1.

there's no reason to mark nexuiz as "a better" or even "the best" game
in comparison to other games!

sorry, but i'll tag this bug as wontfix.

regards - fuddl
